Mixed-ownership of the App

It can be attributed to the fact that the ownership of the app is not entirely with the Chinese company. It was originally made in South Korea by video game company Bluehole now renamed PUBG Corp. Later, Tencent Holding distributed the game in China. With the massive success in China, they decided to distribute in the Indian market as well.

Threat To Data?

The 59 apps chosen by the Indian government were banned because they posed a security threat to the Indian masses and were found to be involved in data theft. The tensions between the borders pushed the government to take this action.

PUBG in contrast to others including the famous Tik-Tok did not pose a threat to Indian security but also was not found to be selling Indian consumer’s data.
